The short answer

2 results are above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Lead, above the action level. 4 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2009 to 2014. Lead at 1.7 mg/L (2014) is left out of this report: more than 20 times the action level, it looks like µg/L entered as mg/L.

Uranium, arsenic and nitrate: New Hampshire’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2023, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Fluoride, chromium (total) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Oct. 26, 2015 to April 16, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the legal limit2

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the action level

137ppb

90th percentile, 2014

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 137 ppb, above EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027, and this result is at or above that. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

What handles it

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the legal limit

0.33ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023

2023 average: 0.28 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.33 ppb, in 2020: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2023, the latest year on file, it averaged 0.28 ppb. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded a violation for uranium at this utility in 2025. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 82.8 ppb, in 2015, and EPA recorded violations in 2015 and 2016.

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

1.7ppm

Highest yearly average, 2015 to 2019

2019, one sample: 1.5 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.7 ppm, in 2018, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 1.5 ppm.

What handles it

Chromium (total)

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

2.0ppb

Highest yearly average, 2015 to 2019

2019: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 2.0 ppb, in 2018, below EPA’s legal limit of 100 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample.

What handles it

A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”

At the tap, or for the whole house?

Lead and copper usually come from pipes and fixtures inside or near your home. A whole-house system sits where water enters, so it cannot catch what your own plumbing adds after it. For those, the filter that counts is the one at the tap. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Uranium, arsenic and nitrate results here are New Hampshire’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Fluoride, chromium (total) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Freedom Village Condos’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and the contaminants this page does not show.

  • Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.

  • What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.

  • Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; CDC’s yearly averages for New Hampshire cover 2020 to 2023; EPA’s compliance samples are from Oct. 26, 2015 to April 16, 2019.

Testing your own tap

Freedom Village Condos’s results are for the water it sends out. What your own service line, solder and fixtures add shows up only in a test of your tap, by a lab New Hampshire certifies.
